the sundial – a dream lyrics
[by edgar allan poe (1827)]
[verse 1:]
in visions of the dark night
i have dreamed of joy departed
but a waking dream of life and light
hath left me broken-hearted.
ah! what is not a dream by day
to him whose eyes are cast
on things around him with a ray
turned back upon the past?
[piano & violin solo]
[verse 2:]
that holy dream – that holy dream,
while all the world were chiding,
hath cheered me as a lovely beam
a lonely spirit guiding.
what though that light, thro’ storm and night,
so trembled from afar
what could there be more purely bright
in truth’s day – star?
[violin solo]
a dream…
a dream…
that holy dream – that holy dream,
while all the world were chiding,
hath cheered me as a lovely beam
a lonely spirit guiding.
what though that light, thro’ storm and night,
so trembled from afar
what could there be more purely bright
in truth’s day – star?
a dream…
a dream…
in visions of the dark night
i have dreamed of joy departed
but a waking dream of life and light
hath left me broken-hearted.
ah! what is not a dream by day
to him whose eyes are cast
on things around him with a ray
turned back upon the past?
